After a long battle with heart disease and cancer, my grandmother passed away this afternoon. We had known it was coming for about the past week but it was still somewhat shocking to hear it actually happened today. My mother sent an email to me and my brother around 5 today to break the news - I was still at the office at the time. I'm still waiting to hear news about when the wake and funeral will be. She was my last living grandparent.
This is one of two BIG reasons why the past two weeks have been extremely difficult. The other is that my boyfriend of almost a year and I broke up. I wrote him a very quick note today to let him know that it had happened (he had told me during our breakup that he would want to know) and he wrote me back a very nice but very formal response.
It seems that Really Bad things always happen at the same time so I'm trying to put everything in perspective and figure out where to go from here. One of the reasons I started this blog was to help me figure that out. We'll see how it goes.

Awww, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. And the breakup. *hugs*
Very sorry, Lisa, to hear about your grandma.
Thanks very much Jenn and Susanne.
Sorry to hear of your loss. All of my grandparents are gone, too, and it's not easy. I had to smile that you received the news via e-mail. My dad did that to me when his mom was dying; afterwards I told him he was never allowed to deliver bad news again. LOL
Thanks Monique. I'm glad I wasn't the only victim of the bad news email drive-by ;)
